Adrian Van Young‘s fiction touches on the surreal and the horrific. John Wray has called him “the secret love-child of many authors I admire, from Ambrose Bierce to H.P. Lovecraft to Sherwood Anderson to Tobias Wolff. ”

His debut, the collection The Man Who Noticed Everything, will be released by Black Lawrence Press in January, and we’re honored to help celebrate its release. Joining Adrian for this reading will be Adam Wilson (author of Flatscreen) and Rivka Galchen (author of Atmospheric Disturbances).
